Trick- or- Treat

Halloween was such a blast. At the seminary, we had a pizza party and went Tick-or-Treating around the Close on Friday night. It was such a fun community event. Every child had a blast. And I must say how cute they all were! On Saturday, we had the Halloween party. The kids played games, made crafts, and walked down the "Cat Walk". They loved it!!

After all the "hoop-la", our family was tired!!!! So we decided just to walk around 20th through 23rd street to see how a NYC Halloween works. It is amazing. People go all out. They decorate there stoops in the most amazing ways. Smoke machines, strobe lights, spider webs, and even a real coffin on the steps with a zombie looking guy that would jump up and scare the crowd. I have never seen our streets so crowded as they were on Halloween. It was neat because the children saw some of their friends from school during the night.

We ended the night by eating at a place called The Trailer Park. To be honest, it felt sort of like Home Sweet Home. You walk in and it has velvet Elvis on the wall, Dolly Pardon stuff every where, Duke's of Hazard.....you know all the things one might see in a souvenir place on the way to Helen or Gatlinburg. You know what I am talking about.....great stuff that we really appreciated seeing. Plus, they serve tator tots.....the real deal!!

It was a great night... definitely different... but one that we will remember!
